"Eugene Onegin" is one of the most popular works in the world opera repertoire, Pushkin's "encyclopedia of Russian life" framed by the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Singer Elizaveta Lavrovskaya suggested that Pyotr Tchaikovsky take a novel in verse by A.S. Pushkin. Initially, the composer considered this idea insane, because Eugene Onegin is a holy book, which he was afraid to touch, but later work on the opera completely absorbed him, and he could no longer refuse to compose music for Eugene Onegin. When in 1877 Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky began work on an opera performance, there were many skeptics who doubted the suitability of Pushkin's plot for the opera stage. Contrary to all fears, the musical drama, in which Pushkin's poetry is successfully combined with the magnificent music of Tchaikovsky, still resonates in the hearts of listeners, and each generation discovers its emotional and semantic shades in it.
